(Copied from a newspaper clipping from the Lometa Reporter, Lometa, Texas about 1941 or 1942 about Frank A. Stockton and his son Norborn Stockton and World War II.)

"OUR BUSINESS MEN"

"In most towns of almost any sizes, there are, usually one or two who are almost indispensable. Especially is this true in smaller towns. The man or, firm on whom the general public can call at any time, for help or who will always buy whatever is offered for sale, and who stands like the Rock of Gibraltar against letting the unfortunate starve in our midst. Who always contributes to any worthy cause, for charity or to give a young person a boost along the pathway of life. Such men are the most valuable asset any community has. They have the ability to accumulate some of this world's goods and manage their own affairs so that their own families do not suffer, and their heart is big enough to take in their fellow men and to reach out the helping hand, to their neighbors, and to help build up their town and community."

"We have some such as this in Lometa. Often I have heard people say. "Frank Stockton is worth more to this town than a bank would be, for he is always ready to help a fellow who comes to him, and he will always buy whatever anyone brings in for sale, no matter what it may be, and pays more for it than any one else. Yes, Frank Stockton is worth more to Lometa than a bank."

"Besides being a good business man and a good Christian citizen, he and his good wife have raised a family of fine children, all of whom are now grown and have gone out into the world to make a place for themselves, and have the esteem and respect of their neighbors. Their fine boy, Norborn (Stockton), like the man he is, has gone to the army that he may do his utmost to defend, his country so that all of us may continue to enjoy the bless- of Liberty and Happiness."

"Norborn is a favorite here among our citizenship, and everyone in Lometa and all this community, realize something of what he had to sacrifice as did his parents too, when he went into the service of our country. But he went, just like many, many others have done, not asking any favors, or deferment. He just smilingly walked out of the activities of Lometa life, into the strenuous services of his country, asking nothing but a chance to serve his country."

"When one reflects on what are some of our great blessings, what are we privileged to enjoy that many others do not have, and when we remember that these boys who have gone from our midst, are out there fighting that WE may continue to enjoy these pleasures; this liberty, all this comfort and we realize that these same boys are offering their very lives, if need be, just so we may continue to live in peace and happiness, it seems to me that we should certainly be willing to do something and everything that is humanly possible that these boys have a bit of recognition for the great sacrifice they are making for us. And not only the boys are making sacrifices too, and I take off my hat off to them--the Stocktons and to all those others who have boys in the Army."

"Frank Stockton, told his boy "I think a very great deal of you son, but I'd rather see you shipped back dead than to know that you were called a slacker, or that you shirked your, duty in any way. You are going out there to win this war and I want you to stay in there and FIGHT! Do not run, but if you are surrounded, lose your gun and can't find a club to fight with, then use your old pocket knife, and fight as long as you can, but, never run or surrender." Yes, Frank Stockton is worth more than a bank."
